    Greasy and makeup seemed to slide right off my face or get stuck in the pores. I used the oil free version. Did absolutely nothing but dent my wallet. Never again, only glad I got the trial size.

    I used this primer for about 10 months and recently switched to Hourglass' No28 Primer Serum. What a difference! I have now realized just how greasy the Smashbox primer made me. I have...

    Am I the only one who's going to complain about the smell? It's not foul or very potent but it's fairly chemicalish in nature and I hate it. Ok, so I was never the biggest makeup person and took...

    I bought this back in May after thinking I needed a primer for my Chanel foundation. I have oily skin and live in a humid area. I have always loved how my skin looks with the Chanel foundation I...

    For the price I was really hoping this would do the job of keeping my makeup in place, but nope. It stays on for maybe an hour and then my oil melts away anything on my face. Sigh. Oily skin probs....

    Didn't work out for me at all...and I tried it with at least 4 different foundations. It made everything on my face slip and slide. It does feel nice and smooth on the skin and that's about it..at...

    I really like this product. I got the one for open pores and it really works. I have really large pores and very noticeable, but when I put this all over my face it really blurs out the pores and...

    So I currently have a love/hate relationship with this specific primer. My skin is oily. Wen I say oily I'm talking five minutes after my makeup is done and its humid out, my face looks so dewy and...

    This has got to be one of the worst beauty products I have ever tried. It even managed to turn me off of primers for awhile since this was the first one I had ever tried and it just was awful. I...

    I do not think this product anchors foundation to my skin. I just feel like there is another layer of something on my skin. This is also expensive for what it is- basically silicone. I would not...

    My favorite primer of all time is the porefessional but I got this as a sample and it really is nice, I don't love it as much as porefessional but this has such a silky smooth feeling and I think...

    I never buy primer -- I always just get samples through subscription bags! You need so little of it and it's so expensive to buy from Sephora. This one is okay -- a little greasy, but I liked being...

    I really worked well with my skin, and since I have a very dry skin it helps that my foundation looks better and smoother, sadly I think its too expensive and not enough product for that price.

    Don't think this is anything special at all. It didn't change my make up in anyway or help it stay on longer. It feels nice on your skin, not heavy or greasy. But it just doesn't do anything,...

    This was the first foundation primer I ever tried, which was probably close to almost ten years ago at this point. Since then, hundreds of different primers have popped up and I've tried a ton of...
